Re: Where do you live and go to church?
I live in one of the last three grand bastions of political liberalism. It is neither CA or NY. I live on the edge of this place by the great river that bisects our country. I am very active in a small church between 5-10 miles away. The name of our church is Fountain of Truth. Our church website is http://fountainoftruth.org/, and my personal blog is http://jonathandtalbot.blogspot.com/.

At first I thought you must mean Boston then I read the part about the great river and looked at your blog and church website.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: Where do you live and go to church?
I forgot that the much of the northeast is still dominated by liberals. I could not help but be slightly criptic. I have a sense of humor, and like to see people try to work out my meanings after I muddy the waters. It is very bad the later at night I am up. I have been up since 0525 yesterday morning.
